Place a tea towel or a thin piece of fabric over the straws and iron on low heat for a few seconds. This will make the straws melt together.

Turn onto the other side and iron it for another few seconds. You will have a little decoration made of straws.

5

Stick your decoration to a hairpin, earrings or necklaces.

It's cliche, but true: mistakes help you learn. You don't get barked at if you do something wrong. Instead, you get a helpful nudge in the right direction.”
